Hi. I play Call of Duty a lot, and I get really angry fairly often. I either end up shouting at the TV and freaking my neighbors out, or holding back, forgeting to breathe and end up with a massive headache. I want to get this under control and not be the kind of guy you see on a "kid freaks out on MW3" type of video. I think there are enough people in this community with similar issues to understand my situation, and I hope that somebody can give me some advice on how to deal with anger in video games. Please be mature about this, it's a serious issue.

If you do, everytime you get annoyed online go into combat training and place the bots on recruit, run Chopper + Dogs and rain down hell on them, it makes you feel better from the beating you just took or the bullshit deaths you just took.

Used to happen to me all the time, I don't know why, but I've calmed down. I only find myself getting upset when a game drags on with the same people. Once I start getting used to people's playstyles, I guess I start nitpicking, I'm not quite sure, though.

Unfortunately CoD is an addiction, and it's no use people saying just don't play it - because you will do!

You have to wean yourself off it until you play just long enough that you enjoy it. For me, with MW3, I cannot play more than 4 games before I start getting pissed off. So I just put the controller down and do something else. I found black ops boring but it didn;t annoy me as much so I could play longer. MW2 was annoying but also more fun and worked better, so I found I could "laugh off" more.

It's a sad state of affairs that everyone on this forum knows what to do to make this game better, but no one at IW does.
